LAMP CLOCKS. ‘They Were Quite Common in the Sew enteenth Century. Of the various examples that have Ebeen given of early specimens of the zclockmaker’s art not the least interest- ing are the several types of lamp One of these was of a kind =quite common in the seventeenth cen- "tury and consisted of a lamp burner ifplaced at the base of a glass oil recep- tacle mounted vertically on a suitable v'standard. The oil reservoir had at- ‘Ptached to it a scale facing the burner and showing the hours, beginning at 4 'o‘clock in the afternoon, at which time 1 the lamp was to be lighted in winter, 1 and ending at 7 o’clock in the morning. The lamp being lighted, the gradually 'descending level of, the oil as combus- tion proceeded marked the hours. The other device, of later origin, dat- -ing back to the beginning of the last century, utilized the same principle. It “consisted of two communicating oil «chambers, superposed by a clock dial. In one of the chambers was placed a night lamp to illuminate this dial, and :in the other was suspended a float from a cord which passed around a small pulley. The latter was mounted “ on a horizontal axis ending in the cen- ’ ter of the dial. The float of course de- scended as the oil was consumed and carried the index hand along with it. thus marking the hours precisely as ‘in the case already cited.

Prior to the year 258, which witness- ‘ed its invasion by the Scoti, a tribe who inhabited the northern portions of the country now known as Ireland, Scotland bore the name of Caledonia, literally the hilly country of the Caels, The word cael, or gael, is a corruption of Gadhel, signifying in the ‘native tongue “a hidden rover,” while Scot, derived from the native scuite, ’means practically the same thingâ€"i. e., ~11 wanderer. The Caledonians were the inhabitants of the highlands, the ter- mination dun expressing the Celtic for hill, fort, stronghold. The Scots were "the invaders from Scotia, who appro- priated the Hebrides and western ls- lands, whereas the lowlanders were "the Picts, so called from their descrip- ‘tion by the Romans, picti, painted men. â€"-“Names and Their Meaning." Nero and His Voice._ In an interesting paper M. Moure :and M. Bouyer relate the extraordinary care which the Emperor Nero took of 'his voice. At night Nero lay on his back, with a thin plate of lead on his stomach. IIe abstained from fruits and all dishes which could hurt his 'voice. In order not to damage the purity of its sound he ceased haranâ€" tguing the soldiers and the senate. I-Ie attached to his service an oflicer spe- cially deputed to take care of his voice. lie talked only in the presence of this singular official, who ,warned him when he spoke too loudly or forced his voice, and if the emperor, carried away by some sudden fit of passion, did not lis- len to his rcmonstrances it was his duty to stop his mouth with a napkin. Bananas. “Bananas,” says an authority, “are by millions of people eaten green or ripe, raw or cooked, are served in all ways in which apples, grains and po- tatoes are used and are palatable, healthful and nutritious in every way in which they are prepared. They make excellent bread, cakes and pies, puddings, confectionery and coffee sub- stitutes. yield brandy, beer, vinegar, sugar, oil and fibers. They are bought as a luxury by millions who may use them as a staple food. Yet they may be grown profitably in a small area only. Therefore banana culture affords a perfectly safe and gainful use'cf time and money.” A Cold Turndown. “Bridget.” Mrs. Housekeep called down to her servant, “I see Mrs. Gada dis coming across the street. Run out and turn that door mat upside down." “Which one, ma‘am?” asked Bridget. “The one that has ‘Welcome’ on it.” v u. Wâ€"vâ€"\.M _ . __ ___._.â€"_ Prowling Dogs Vl52t Ops. Th: L'ndsiy “Evening Post” of Sat» nrday last says: “ A pack of savage, half-wild dogs has inf. sled the. farms and woods of North 0m. tin-'1 are over-runnng the country, sub isting on the domestic animals and flocks of the farmers, and are causing the latter endless worry and trouble. “The canines hunt in packs, and the victims of their carnivo-ons appetites are generally chickens, ducks, geese, small pigs, etc. Mr. John Jackson, one o the farmers who is losing considera- ble by these depreciations, made a comâ€" plaint to Chief Vincent recently. llc stated that several farmers had suffered to some extent from the ravages of the dogs. Mr. W. J. Lee had twenty-four ducks killed, Mr. T. Helm had one killed, and he (Jackson) actually saw a turkey being carried oil by a leanâ€"looking hound. Pigs, calv>s and not even cattle are imâ€" mune from the savage attacks of the ma- rauding pack. The farmers have endcav-- oured to shoot them, but with little suc~ ccss, the dogs being extremely sly and wary. They hide in the‘ grain, poking their heads up to see if the farmers are approaching. “ One theory that has been advanced is that the dogs are the half-starved. aniâ€" mals that. inl'cst the streets of Lindsay. It is thought; that when hunger presses them they form into a pack and go hunt- ing for prey. 'l he nuisance is one that the farmers are determined to stamp out; because, if the town dogs once form the habit of visiting the country barn-yards and sheep-folds, the situation will be intolerable.” .

The exhibit this year will be more interesting even than it was last year, and visitors will see the world‘s most interesting wild people living as they do at home. Grass-thatchâ€" ed huts will dot the enclosure, and all around the primitive industries of these strange people will be seen in operation. All the sports and pastimes will be shown, and these merry, head-hunting (log-eaters will show Canadians how their own ancestors may have lived when the world was young. The lgorâ€" rotcs are as wild as weeds, but are a likable people, differing greatly from other brown people. As was the case last year, the exhibit will be run on cdâ€" ucational lines, with more variety to it,» it is claimed, than any other traveling exhibit. Manager Orr praises it in the cllicial bulletin of the exhibition, and the fine reputation the village made last year is a guarantee that it. will be well worth a visit this year. .” .nâ€"nâ€"uâ€" AN OBLlfilNG WAlTER. He Got the Five Dishes, and He Got Them In Record Time. He was a stranger in town. The clerk of the hotel had neglected to call him until twenty minutes after the re- quested hour, and as a consequence he had but a short time for breakfast be- fore he must leave for his train. Going into the dining room, he waiv- ed themformality of having the chair leisurely pushed under him by the head waiter, and. accosting one of the dusky servers, he commanded hur- riedly: Y “Go to the kitchen and get me a breakfastâ€"five dishes of anything that is readyâ€"and get it quick!” As the order was accompanied by a medium sized piece of silver the way- faring man had reason to expect a fairly good meal. And as to speed of delivery he was not disappointed. In an incredibly short time the negro reappeared, bear- ing aloft a tray on which sat five dishes, remarkable only for their simi- larity of size and shape. When the tray was lowered sufficiently to bring the contents of the dishes into focus the traveler saw his breakfastâ€"flive dishes of steaming oatmeal. accompa- nied by five miniature pitchers of cream. , The negro beamed with satisfaction at the rapidity with which he had exe- cuted the order. The traveler hurried- ly ate one dish of the oatmeal, and as he left the dining room the waiter was heard to remark: “Wondah wot (hit man say he want five dishes foahl” Clever Girl.
